That would be entirely up to your Internet Service Provider. And at extra
cost if static IP address is available. But a dynamic IP address is not the
cause of your problem, so I'd avoid that choice. Communicate further with
your ISP about the problem, and don't give up until you get the problem
solved. At any rate, you haven't supplied any information about your
connection and ISP provider, so further suggestions could only be guesses
(details such as the type connection, ISP, software {if any} used, etc.)
